The Indications are for a good average

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Council Take Steps for Erection of a
New Viaduct on L Street.
UNION PACIFIC BUYS LAND
Fred repple, Who W fthot In the
Lea; While Tutting I p a Fight
with Hlerhwayman, Mar
Die from Wounds.
The city council took action on several
important questions last evening. A reso
lution waa Introduced by Councilman huffy
ordering the attorney to prepare the ne.
cessary ordinances to compel the railroad
companies and the Union Stock yards to
construct a new viaduct over L street.
There seems to be some probability of ac
tion In the near future. The engineers of
the Union Pacific made an examination
of tho viaduct yesterday and a number of
defects were discovered. A committee of
the West Side Improvement club waa also
on tha ground and It was Intended that
the city council and the mayor should also
be on the ground. It Is anticipated that
the Union Pacific will communicate Its
findings to the council In the near future.
In the meantime ordinances will be Intro
duced to hasten the work of reconstruction
The committee on viaducts, streets and
allies the city attorney and city engineer
were made a committee to watt upon Con
tractor Hugh Murphy to secure Ms signa
ture to the contract for the paving nf the
street or to give the reason why they
failed. The Intention Is to force Mr. Mur
phy to speedily come to terms or to step
aside and allow the contract to proceed.
The ordinance vacating a portion of C
street was resubmitted to the Judiciary
committee. It having been found that the
ordinance should have been passed as an
amendment to an older ordinance rather
than as an original bill. One ordinance
has been passed vacating a portion of the
treet. It Is understood that a large flour
ing mill Is to locate on the site.
Gus Hamel & Co. met with a competitor
for the laying of temporary sidewalks of
permanent material. Hamel & Co. bid 12
cents per foot, while Joe Blaha. fdrmerly
dog catcher, bid 1H tents per foot. It Is
likely that the latter will secure the con
tract. The water company was ordered to re
move the fire plug at Thirty-first and L
streets and to put In, hydrants at Thirty
sixth and Jefferson, Thirty-first and V,
Thirty-first and Y. Thirty-eighth and Y,
Thirty-fourth and W and Fortieth and'JC.
The Hpeclal funds, such as grndln? and
paving funds, were found overdrawn to thi
amount or $3.6.19 70, according to a report
by the city treasurer.
The ordinance was passed declaring the
necessity of making a boulevard of Twenty-third
street.
An ordinance was Introduced authorizing
th condemnation of private property from
Y street south to Railroad avenue on
Twenty-second street.

Definite confirmation of a rumored real
ertate deal of some Importance wo secured
yesterday afternoon. It was found that
the Union Pacific, not the Rock Island,
had purchased about eight acres of land
formerly belonging to Mrs. Anna Jeffries
of Milwaukee. The plot purchased lies
east and north of Laurel Hill cemetery anil
extends for several blocks along the Union
raclflc right-of-way and Is a valuable
acquisition to the property of the oompany
ln South Omaha. The purchase price was
$s.W0. Representatives op the railroad and
various real estate men have been bidding
on the property for soma time.- Mrs.
Jeffries paid a visit to Omaha a few days
ago and while here the final negotiations
for the sale were effected. The McCbrua
Investment company effected the purchase
for the Union Pacific. About fifty lots on
the original tract have been old to other
parties, but it la understood that options
have been secured on most of them. The
price paid is considered exceptionally low
tor the property. It Is thought that the
Union raclflc seeks to Increase Its trackage
facilities at the south side. !jst year
there was talk of erecting large shops for
the construction of the McKeen gasoline
motors, but that project Is no longer men- j
ioucu. v. un nome grading- largo trackage
facilities can be developed in Albright.
' Fred Pep pie May Die.
The condition of Fred repple, at the
South Omaha hospital since the operation
yesterday morning, has not been at all
reassuring. It Is feared that after all
ho may not recover from the wound he
received In the plucky fight with Charles
Price alias Rogers. Ater the shooting
the wound never properly healed and con
stantly oozed blood. As a last resort
tho operation was undertaken. It was
found that tho main artery of the leg
had been perforated and that the blood
waa being forced Into the tissues of the
leg, making a false pocket. When the
operation reached the point of cutting
Into this pocket the blood leaped out and
was or so great a quantity that death
came near following at once. The artery
was taken up and tied and the patient
with difficulty revived. He Is still low,
though there Js, It Is thought, chance of
his recovery.
